Puncture Facilities

Puncture and biopsy is possible with Type 8803. The puncture attachment is illustrated in
the following pages with a brief description of its use and operating instructions.
WARNING
It is essential for the patient's safety that only the correct puncture attachment is used with
Type 8803. Never use unauthorized combinations of transducers and puncture attachments
or other manufacturers' puncture attachments.

UA1250

The puncture attachment (see Fig. 3.) comprises an attachment bracket, an attachment lock
screw (item A in Fig. 4.), a needle guide, a needle-guide lock screw (item B in Fig. 4.) and a
variable diameter holder for fine needles (0.6mm or 24 gauge) and large bore needles
(2.4mm or 13 gauge). The guide channel is angled at 18° to the transducer' s image axis.

To mount biopsy attachment UA1250 ready for use:
Note: When mounted the attachment lock screw (item A in Fig. 3.) should be on the side of
the transducer handle opposite to the transducer's control button.
1. Mount the attachment bracket on the transducer. Fit the indentations in the sides of
the bracket over the raised metal knobs on either side of the transducer handle.
2. Fix the attachment bracket in position by tightening the attachment lock screw (item
A in Fig. 3.). Tighten the screw up to its "locking point", after which it will not be pos-
sible to tighten the screw anymore.
3. The biopsy attachment should now be fixed solidly to the transducer's handle.
4. Using the needle guide locking screw (item B in Fig. 3.), adjust the needle guide
according to the size of needle to be used.
